4. Position the pelvic cursor next. Move the upper control points to just above the iliac crests, between the arm
and torso. Position the bottom left pelvic cursor so that the left cursor edge passes through the femoral neck
and is close to the pelvis, and the bottom edge of the pelvic cursor is just below the pubic symphysis. Pos-
ition the bottom right cursor similarly on the opposite side. Make sure the trapezoid is set to enclose the pel-
vis.
5. If positioned correctly, the pelvic cursor will completely surround the pelvis and contain a minimum of midriff,
leg, and femoral neck tissue.
6. Position the lower left leg cursor so that the left leg cursor edge lies along the region of minimum body tissue
between the left thigh and the left hand. The bottom edge should be below the toes. Position the right leg con-
trol points similarly. Position the center leg cursor so that the center leg cursor edge lies along the region of
minimum body tissue between the left and right leg.
The regions of interest are defined graphically in Figure 5-4.
